Woody-Woo

Nature

Woody-Woo is happy taking trips, he is keen to experience nature with all of his senses and he wonder-struck over everything he sees and experiences.

Sometimes he encourages all the children to close their eyes and just hear the sounds of nature, other times he will just look and observe with his eyes. Woody-Woo can also tell kids about fun-packed adventures inside the pre-school. Woody-Woo is green as is all of the Nature learning material.
